They are listed as examples of unacceptable bonuses, and for a reason. An armor bonus to an existing set of armor (as the spell
Magic Vestments) is quantitative and applied to equipment, which is acceptable; an armor bonus being given to a creature which does not already have one (as the spell
Mage Armor) is qualitative (unarmored ~> armored) and applies the bonus directly to the player, which is unacceptable.
The only spell I have permitted that explicitly breaks this rule is
Create Magic Tattoo, which sets a dangerous precedent, and may be taken off the list as-is.
